PRIMA Housing Policies
PRIMA reserves a limited number of guest rooms for attendees of the PRIMA conference. When attendees book outside the PRIMA room block, or book rooms in advance on the chance that they will attend, only to cancel later, PRIMA is placed at high risk of paying attrition on the cancelled rooms. Due to the economic climate as well as this abovementioned risk, the following PRIMA-approved housing policy has been instituted. Thank you in advance for adhering to these policies.
Reservations at the official Conference hotel must be accompanied by a deposit equal to one-night’s room and tax to guarantee the reservation. All cancellations must be made at least 30 days prior to arrival to receive a refund of the deposit. Any and all cancellations made within 30 days of arrival will forfeit the entire deposit. Anyone booking more than eight room nights will be required to sign a room block contract with the hotel, and will be held to the hotel’s attrition and cancellation policies as per their contract.
